United Nuclear’s Dangerous Magnets

If you’re in the market for freakishly strong magnets, United Nuclear‘s got your covered. These are made from high grade Neodymium, mostly N40 and above. Now, I don’t know anything about the wonderful world of magnets, but when a site goes to the length that they have with disclaimers and warnings, you get the feeling that maybe you’re about to buy something fierce.

Two of these magnets close together can create an almost unbelievable magnetic field that can be very dangerous. Of all the unique items we offer for sale, we consider these two items the most dangerous of all. Our normal packing & shipping personnel refuse to package these magnets – our engineers have to do it. This is no joke and we cannot stress it strongly enough – that you must be extremely careful – and know what you’re doing with these magnets. Take Note: Two of the 3″ x 1″ disc magnets can very easily break your arm if they get out of control.

Prices start at $8 for cute little ones, but it’s $100 for that three inch mother. And I really want one.
